Joanne is the better album, more consistent in its themes and execution.
However imo ARTPOP has better high points (and more low points) than Joanne.

But the album feels butchered by overproduction of tracks like Sex Dreams and MANiCURE. The only highs on ARTPOP for me are Do What U Want, Mary Jane Holland, Gypsy and Applause. Fashion! is a cute album track as well but nothing special. I sorta like Dope, too.

Thats 2 songs though, that doesnt make a bad album. the only songs i think are 'over-produced' are SD, Aura & Donatella.

Joanne doesnt have a single bad song, and they are all well produced and crafted, her voice is the best its ever sounded.

BUT
there isnt a song on Joanne that is as good as Do What U Want, and there isnt a song on Joanne as terrible as J&D or Dope. ARTPOP has better highs and more lower lows.

Joanne is more consistent.It doesn't have any great parts but it doesn't have any horrible parts either.It's also way more simple and boring

ARTPOP on the other hand has surprisingly horrible parts and amazing parts.It's also complicated,directionless and messy that destroys any chance of being cohensive but makes it interesting and enjoyable

I guess I prefer ARTPOP because it's more interesting and I still like songs from this album.I don't even listen to Joanne anymore.

No,I am not the person that will praise an album competely just because it's Gaga if that's what you looking for. I find Swine a horrible song,I find sexxx dreams,MANiCURE badly produced and average. Aura is an amazing song but the vocals on the verses (on the studio version) are just bad. Also Fashion! and Donatella despite being kinda fun are absolutely random are ruin any direction that the album has. Dope is meh... Let's not pretend like the album doesn't have mistakes
